About this study

Official title: Study on Risk Factors for Prediction of Conversion to Dementia in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is believed to be the early stage of dementia. The investigators assume that some psychological and imaging risks may predict the conversion. In the current longitudinal study, psychological and imaging data of people with MCI will be obtained at baseline, and will be followed at 26 weeks and 52 weeks. The predictors will be found in comparison with controls.

Read the detailed description

MCI increases the risk of later developing dementia. About 10-15% of the amnestic form of mild cognitive impairment will progress to Alzheimer's disease in one year. But some people with MCI never get worse. Others with MCI later have test results that return to normal for their age and education.

To develop a new drug for the prevention of dementia(dementia due to Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia), investigators need a sensitive and specific tool for recognizing patients who will converse to dementia. The investigators want to establish an operational diagnostic criteria instead of a descriptive criteria for mild cognitive impairment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Disease, run by Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of conversion to dementia (time frame: At baseline, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01823666, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Aug 2021.
